A modular garage kit from a big-box store rarely fits an actual garage footprint, and it definitely isn't built for a space that swings through Central Texas summer heat with no insulation. San Marcos Custom Cabinets builds garage storage cabinetry sized to your garage's walls and floor plan, using materials chosen to hold up to heat and the heavier use a garage sees compared to indoor cabinetry.
Garages store tools, lawn equipment, and overflow from the house, and that means cabinets need to handle more weight and rougher daily use than a kitchen cabinet ever would. We build with that in mind from the start, not as an afterthought on a standard cabinet design.

Materials
Materials and methods for Garage Storage Cabinets
Heavy-Duty Plywood
A strong material suited for supporting tools and equipment, built for weight loads a typical kitchen cabinet was never meant to carry.
Wall-Mounted Brackets
Brackets used to secure cabinets firmly to garage walls, important for cabinets holding heavier tools and gear off the floor.
Slatwall Panels
Panels that allow flexible hanging storage for tools and gear, letting you reconfigure storage as your equipment changes.
Industrial Hardware
Rugged hardware designed for durability in garage environments, standing up to grime and frequent use better than standard cabinet hardware.
Protective Coatings
Finishes applied to resist scratches, oil, and moisture, which matters in an uninsulated garage that sees summer heat swings and occasional damp.
Custom Shelving Inserts
Shelving tailored to organize tools, supplies, and equipment instead of leaving everything in loose bins on the floor.
